MARGARET MATHIS ADAIR, age 87 years, peacefully went to the Lord at her home in 
Russellville, AR on Sunday, February 9, 2014. 
She was born in Diaz, AR on October 18, 1926, the daughter of Perry and Lennie 
(Young) Mathis. 

She was the beloved wife of the late Cleveland M. Adair and the mother of one 
son, Robert Lester Adair Sr. of Russellville, AR. 

She leaves behind her sisters, Betty Pollock of Arlington, TX and Peggy Brown 
of Ft. Worth, TX, her daughter-in-law Connie Adair, three grandchildren, and 
six great-grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her brothers, Perry Jr., James, Walter (Pinto), 
and Sammy Mathis, and her sisters Elizabeth, Sue Goodwin, and Patsy James.

Her husband Cleveland had a full career in the US Air Force and Margaret was at 
his side, the two enjoyed many life-long friends and the camaraderie that the 
service provided. 

She loved to cook and many of her specialties were widely appreciated by her 
circle of friends, especially her baking, but nothing can compare to her 
chicken and dumplings. 
Her entire family, including her brothers and sisters' families, were very dear 
to her throughout her life. 
She and Cleveland settled down in Slidell, LA in 1964, after he retired from 
the military. 
She preferred to stay close to the house but Friday nights were the exception, 
for many years she and Cleve would be found surrounded by friends at Miss Macs 
(aka Kelly's Catfish Corner) on the Slidell lakefront. 

She will be dearly missed by all those who knew her.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to 

attend the Graveside Services at Forest Lawn Cemetery, 1751 Gause Blvd.,West, 
Slidell, LAon Friday, February 14, 2014 at 11:00 A.M.

Donations to the Russellville Hospice, preferred, in lieu of flowers.
